Synopsis

Christopher Tolkien says that this chapter of the book is not actually a history, but a bulk of concepts explored by Tolkien concerning the Elven realms of the Second Age and the place of Galadriel and Celeborn among them.

Celeborn's past is explored, who could be both Teler of Valinor or a Sinda as well. There are also references to Amroth, the King of Lórien before the arrival of Galadriel and Celeborn, other legends connected to him such as Nimrodel and Mithrellas, and a discussion about the Silvan Elves and their speech.

There is also a discussion on Celebrimbor, where the idea that he was in love with Galadriel is introduced, a fact connected to the Elessar; there is also a reference and Enerdhil the obscure smith of Gondolin by whom in a version of the story was constructed.

All in all, the chapter discusses and presents several versions of the aforementioned tales and essays related to them; along with their contradictions, which Tolkien may have abandoned and never resolved a final version of.
